Exterior Algebras

We construct the exterior algebra of a module M over a commutative semiring R.

Notation

The exterior algebra of the R-module M is denoted as ExteriorAlgebra R M. It is endowed with the structure of an R-algebra.

The nth exterior power of the R-module M is denoted by exteriorPower R n M; it is of type Submodule R (ExteriorAlgebra R M) and defined as LinearMap.range (ExteriorAlgebra.ι R : M →ₗ[R] ExteriorAlgebra R M) ^ n. We also introduce the notation ⋀[R]^n M for exteriorPower R n M.

Given a linear morphism f : M → A from a module M to another R-algebra A, such that cond : ∀ m : M, f m * f m = 0, there is a (unique) lift of f to an R-algebra morphism, which is denoted ExteriorAlgebra.lift R f cond.

The canonical linear map M → ExteriorAlgebra R M is denoted ExteriorAlgebra.ι R.

Theorems

The main theorems proved ensure that ExteriorAlgebra R M satisfies the universal property of the exterior algebra.

1. ι_comp_lift is the fact that the composition of ι R with lift R f cond agrees with f.
2. lift_unique ensures the uniqueness of lift R f cond with respect to 1.

Definitions

• ιMulti is the AlternatingMap corresponding to the wedge product of ι R m terms.

Implementation details

The exterior algebra of M is constructed as simply CliffordAlgebra (0 : QuadraticForm R M), as this avoids us having to duplicate API.
